AIFD Board Elections Coming in May!!!
|
Although a number of current Board members are willing to continue to serve, AIFD is always looking for people who are interested in serving the group as an officer or as a volunteer for the many tasks required for AIFD's activities. The Board encourages all members to learn the responsibility of each officer and then offer to either run for the Board or volunteer to help the Board in other ways. Please talk with any Board Member for more information.

 This Friday at dancing:
Holly DJs, Dee assists.
April Birthdays and Anniversaries. |
  Enjoy a lively evening of dancing DJ'd by Holly Plotner. Holly will be assisted by Dee McCandless. This week we'll celebrate our dancers who have a birthday or anniversary in April with song, dance, and cake. |
Teaching: Franklin Houston will again start the evening with Kacerac from Serbia. He'll review the  styling and variations from last week. We'll then return to the USA for the Cross-Step Waltz, taught by Franklin and Lisa Horn Dielman. Plan on having even more time to practice the steps that you've already learned, with perhaps a woman's turn thrown in! |
